Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for preparing boron nitride, more particularly to a method for preparing boron nitride which is high in conversion rate into cubic boron nitride.
  • the indirect method comprises, by using a cubic boron nitride, as the starting material, which was prepared by the steps of converting a mixture of hexagonal boron nitride and a catalyst into cubic boron nitride through a reaction at high pressure and a high temperature, removing the used catalyst and the remaining unreacted hexagonal boron nitride from the system by chemical means, sintering the thus prepared cubic boron nitride under an ultra-high pressure and at a high temperature (e.g., 5 GPa or more and 1200 °C or higher), alternatively further adding thereto a cubic boron nitride powder, a binder mainly including TiN or A1203 and, if necessary, a metal and/or a metallic compound, and again carrying out a high-pressure
  • the direct method comprises, by using a boron nitride other than the cubic boron nitride as the starting material, subjecting a mixture of the boron nitride and a catalyst to a high-pressure and high-temperature reaction, whereby the boron nitride is converted into cubic boron nitride and simultaneously the cubic boron nitride sintered body can be prepared.
  • the prepared cubic boron nitride sintered body is composed of the direct bonding of cubic boron nitride grains.
  • the former utilizes the two high-pressure and high-temperature treatment steps which involve great costs, but the latter requires such a costly treatment step only once. Therefore, it seems that the latter is more suitable than the former. This reason will be easily understandable, and is that in the direct method, the conversion rate of hexagonal boron nitride into cubic boron nitride will be below 100 % in almost cases, and the remaining unreacted hexagonal boron nitride will noticeably impair properties and a performance of the prepared sintered body.
  • tha starting material is cubic boron nitride. Therefore, it is a significant premise factor to synthesize cubic boron nitride.
  • the boron nitride materials mentioned bove include, besides cubic boron nitride, hexagonal boron nitride, wurtzite boron nitride and amorphous boron nitride.
  • the synthesis of cubic boron nitride may be principally accomplished by treating hexagonal boron nitride under an ultra-high pressure and at a high temperature to convert the latter into former.
  • methods for manufacturing a cubic boron nitride sintered body and cubic boron nitride which comprise treating a mixture of hexagonal boron nitride and aluminum nitride as a catalyst at a high temperature and a high pressure under a condition of 2 % by volume or less of an oxygen content of the mixture.
  • the present inventors have further conducted on relations between the crystallizability of hexagonal boron nitride and the conversion rate, and as a result, it has been confirmed that the boron nitride which has smaller crystallinity, i.e., amorphous boron nitride has the highest conversion rate into cubic boron nitride (see Funtai Funmatsu Yakin Kyokai, Outline Booklet at Spring Congress Lecture, 1983, pp. 96 - 97).
  • This invention can overcome problems concomitant to the above-mentioned conventional methods for manufacturing boron nitride, and an object of this invention is to provide a method for preparing amorphous boron nitride which is eligible as a starting material for the preparative methods for cubic boron nitride sintered body and cubic boron nitride.
  • the present inventors' researches have been extended to a region of various compounds usable as materials for amorphous boron nitride, an in consequence, they have found the fact that when each of undermentioned compounds is pyrolyzed at a predetermined temperature and pressure, a white solid of amorphous boron nitride will be prepared, and what is better, an activation energy in the conversion reaction of amorphous boron nitride into cubic boron nitride will extremely low and thus this conversion rate will become great.
  • a method of this invention has now been developed.
  • the method for preparing boron nitride in high yield comprises pyrolyzing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of borazine and a borazine derivative under conditions of at a temperature of 150 to 700 °C and at a pressure of 10 megapascal (MPa) or more.
  • Figure 1 is a diffraction pattern of infrared adsorption sepctrum showing a crystallizability of boron nitride prepared by the pyrolysis of borazine;
  • Figure 3 is a diagram showing relations between ratios of B-N and B-H absorption intensities obtained by an IR analysis and temperatures of a pyrolysis with regard to amorphous boron nitride prepared in Example 1;
  • Figure 4 is a diagram showing relations between molar conversion rates into cubic boron nitride and temperatures of pyrolysis.
  • Figure 5 is a straight diagram for calculating an activation energy, which shows relations between ln ⁇ and 10 4 /T.
  • Borazine used in this invention is a compound having a following formula:
  • borazine derivatives used in this invention include a compound having a chemical formula BxNyHz wherein x, y and z each represent an integer, and in view of handling, liquid or solid compound is more preferable.
  • examples of such compounds include borazo- naphthalene represented by the following formula: borazobiphenyl represented by the following formula: and 2,4-diaminoborazine represented by the following formula: Of these materials, borazine is particularly preferable.
  • the used starting material includes neither oxygen nor carbon. This is that oxygen acts as a factor for lowering the conversion rate into cubic boron nitride and that carbon will remain in boron nitride when a pyrolyzing treatment is carried out under conditions described hereinafter. If the boron nitride including the remaining carbon component is subjected to a high-pressure and high-temperature synthetic treatment, this carbon component will be changed into graphite and will remain in the prepared cubic boron nitride, which graphite will lead to the deterioration in properties of the cubic boron nitride sintered body.

  • the temperature and pressure are adjusted to the range of 150 to 700°C and 10 MPa or more, respectively.
  • the temperature of the pyrolysis is preferably adjusted to 700 °c or less.

  • the temperature of the pyrolysis is preferably adjusted to 150 °C or more, as mentioned above.
  • the pressure in the aforesaid treatment varies with an amount of borazine or a borazine derivative to be pyrolyzed, and it must be at a level enough to suppress hydrogen released from borazine or the borazine derivative during the pyrolyzing treatment.

If the pressure is less than 3 GPa and the temperature is less than 700 °C, the conversion rate of the boron nitride according to borazine into cubic boron nitride and the sintering reaction will be remarkably decreased. Therefore, the pressure and temperature to obtain the cubic boron nitride sintered body are determined to as 3 GPa or more and 700 °C or more, respectively.
